Sending Money to an Inmate at Barrow County Jail: Mail Money Orders, Lobby Kiosk, and What NOT to Include

Barrow County Detention Center accepts deposits two ways: mailed money orders or the Jail ATM kiosk in the lobby. The kiosk takes cash, debit cards, and credit cards. Mailing works best when you can plan ahead. The lobby kiosk is ideal if you're already at the facility or need to deposit funds right away.

Mail your money order to: Barrow County Detention Center, 652 Barrow Park Drive, Winder, GA 30680. Write the inmate's name and ID number on the money order so staff can credit the right account.

1. Buy a money order - this is the only form of payment accepted through the mail.
2. Write the inmate’s name and ID number on it - this helps ensure it’s credited to the right person.
3. Address the envelope correctly - Barrow County Detention Center, 652 Barrow Park Drive, Winder, GA 30680.
4. Mail it and keep your receipt - hold onto the stub/receipt in case you need to track or confirm the payment later.

For in-person deposits, head to the Jail ATM kiosk in the lobby. It takes cash, debit cards, and credit cards - convenient if you're already visiting or prefer not to mail anything.
